System and method for logistics management based on odor molecules

Abstract

A system for logistics management based on odor molecules is provided. The system includes a sensor, an information device and a server. The sensor is arranged on an item to be tracked, and includes a colorimetric sensor array and a material which stores and releases molecules, wherein the material releases an odor molecule. The colorimetric sensor array includes a plurality of sensing materials. The plurality of sensing materials reacts with at least one metabolic molecule of the odor molecule to enable the colorimetric sensor array to present a color pattern. The information processing device includes an image capturing element for obtaining the color pattern and a transceiver for transmitting the color pattern. The server stores a database. The color pattern and the database are compared to generate a comparison result.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a system and method for providing item identification, and particularly relates to a system and method for logistics management based on odor molecules.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In recent years, with the rapid development of the globalization tendency, distribution and mobility of supply chains and e-commerce have been greatly improved, which has jointly promoted the growth of the logistics industry.

Therefore, how to manage the various items reliably and safely is an urgent issue for improvement.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention mainly aims to improve the reliability and safety in logistics management.[0004]In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides a system for logistics management based on odor molecules, including a sensor mounted on an...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0003]The invention mainly aims to improve the reliability and safety in logistics management.

[0007]Accordingly, in the invention, by use of the combination of the material which stores and releases molecules and the colorimetric sensor array, the odor molecule corresponding to the item to be tracked is pre-stored in the material, and the colorimetric sensor array provides macroscopic information. In this way, information associated with the item to be tracked is obtained via the color pattern, so as to manage the item to be tracked. The odor molecule stored in the material is hard to change and access, so that high level of safety is achieved. Furthermore, by selecting a proper material, the odor molecule can be designed to change over time and form different color patterns accordingly, thus further improving the safety of logistics management.

Problems solved by technology

The transportation routes of commodities, goods or raw materials are becoming more and more complicated, and the difficulty in management is also increasing.

Therefore, how to manage the various items reliably and safely is an urgent issue for improvement.
